EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of Louis XIV's entry into Paris, a momentous event in French history. Known as Le Roi-Soleil or King Soleil, Louis XIV was a powerful monarch who reigned from 1638 to 1715. In 1660, he made his triumphant arrival through the gate of Saint Antoine, accompanied by an impressive cortege. The image showcases the procession passing outside the Bastille prison, symbolizing both the king's authority and his ability to overcome any obstacles. The chromotypography technique used in this print adds depth and vibrancy to every detail captured by Gustave Toutwelve and illustrated by Maurice Leloir in 1904. As we gaze at this historical masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary moment firsthand. The horses' hooves echo on the cobblestone streets as they pull ornate carriages carrying members of the royal court. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as Parisians line the streets to catch a glimpse of their beloved king. Louis XIV's reign marked a period of immense cultural development and political power for France. His nickname "the Sun King" reflects his belief that just like how everything revolves around the sun, so too should all power revolve around him. This print serves as a reminder of Louis XIV's enduring legacy and his impact on French society during one of its most influential eras.
